One More

Almost forgot this one....... gotta love an action shot!

10~10~10

Whitney and Rob are married and I was lucky enough to be their photographer! I just wanted to share a quick story..... moments before the bridal party was arriving in the limo, Rob ran up to me in a bit of a panic, Mandi he said, do you have any kleenex, I want to make sure I have some in case Whitney needs them during the ceremony...... sigh.....I ran to my vehicle and grabbed the box for him just as the limo was pulling up. If that's not love I don't know what is. I had a fantastic time with all you guys and feel lucky to have been a part of your special day! Congrats! Here a a few of my favorites, so hard to choose....

Delighfully, Mandi

Adam & Cheylyn

Hello friends,

   Holy moly it's been busy and I am getting behind. I have to tell you guys about my weekend, not to complain just in hopes that you will have a chuckle at my expense....... It began on Thurs. evening when my septic alarm went off..... keep in mind that my husband is at work 6 hours away! Shawn had supposedly fixed the pump but Shawn is a driller not a plumber so it didn't surprise me that the alarm went off. When I called him in a bit of a panic he assured me it would be ok and a plumber would come on Saturday but advised me not to use much water until then. Friday evening my son threw up through the night...... every time I changed his bedding and jammies, as  pile of pukey laundry was building up, hmmmmm..... can't do wash until the septic situation is sorted. It's a good thing I have a sinus infection and can't smell a thing. Some serious liquified b.m 's began the next and the next night Max began puking....... I am now running on little to no sleep and praying that Grace and I aren't next. Thankfully the virus was 24 hour and the plumber came and we were back on track. Monday morning I walked Grace out to the bus....warm chai latte in hand and the beautiful crispness of the morning felt great, spirit renewed I felt optimistic about the day and week ahead. As I walked back to the house and saw my cute boys through the window, I went to open the front door only to discover it was locked. You know those moments when you feel like crying but don't quite have the energy.... that's where I was. I tried communicating the technique to unlock the door through the seal but only the handle moved about. It was no use, I gave up and so did they Smith decided that now would be a great time to have some M&M cookies and Max began to cry ( I couldn't see Max) however Smith proudly ate his cookies in front of the window, as though to say tome me there is not a thing you can do lady! 30 minutes later Edie comes to the rescue key in hand (praise the lord) and rescued Max out of the pitch black bathroom that he had locked himself in. I don't know that I have ever dressed them so fast and rushed them off to dayhome as I desperately needed a day off... I hope that you are laughing!

Onto the goodness of Cheylyn and Adam who are extremely photogenic by the way. I am so excited for their wedding it's going to be fab! You two are such a perfect couple and congrats on the engagement!
Delightfully, Mandi

Busy Izzy

 I had a hard time keeping up to this little 15 month old, once they get they walking papers they are off! It's almost as though they need to make up for the many months of stillness! Anyways Isabella is such a sweet little girl and it is obvious that she is adored! I hope that you are all well and gearing up to do some major turkey feasting this weekend! I am looking forward to photographing an awesome wedding this weekend.... and some turkey as well!
Delightfully, Mandi
